18 THE AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST 
In April, the Ttowhee shows considerable disparity in its 
records; the highest being 15 and the lowest 4, with a total of 
38 records—the largest number in any of the spring months. In 
May, 1911, there was no record made for the species; in 1912, 
only 4 records; in the other two years the records were uniform— 
15 and 18, respectively. In March, there were 2 records in 1910, 
and none in the other years. The total for four seasons was 77 
records. 
The Field Sparrow ranks among the most regular species. 
In March, the difference between the highest and lowest number 
of records was 5; in April, the difference was 6; in May, 5. In 
March, the total for four years was 5 records; in April, 100 records; 
in May, 1o5 records. The total for all the spring months was 
220 records. i 
In March, the Chipping Sparrow was recorded 4 times in 
two years, but no record was made in 1912 and 1913. In April, 
the species was irregular, the lowest record having been 13, in 
1912; and the total, 80 records, in four years. In May, the records 
totalled 120, with only 4 days on which the species was not seen. 
The average total for each spring was 51 records. In the four 
seasons, there was a total of 204:records, and 164 days when the 
species was not found. 
In only one year, 1910, was the Sapsucker seen in each of the 
spring months. The total for that year was 23 records, which was 
either equal to, or greater, than the total of any other two years. 
The total for the other three years was 31 records; and for the 
four springs, 54 records. In 1912 and 1913, the species was recorded 
only in April, both years together totalling 23 records. In three 
years, the Sapsucker was not found in March; and in two years, 
it was not seen in May. 
The Golden-crowned Kinglet had 6 records in March, 29 
in April, and none in May. The total for four springs was 35 
records. The Ruby-crowned Kinglet had no records in March, 
19 in April, and 10 in May. The total for four seasons was 29 
records. From these records, the reader may readily see which 
species is the hardier and the more abundant. 
Although the Goldfinch is a species that may be found in any 
month of the year, still my observations for the spring months in 
four years show that the Goldfinch had 2 records in March; 21, 
in April; 104, in May. The total was 127 records. It is difficult
